Puerto Ricans in the Mix
Volume 32 of ¡El Playlist! is all from boricuas
If you’re on Threads, you likely know how kind and supportive the platform is. I tapped into an entire group of indie Latine podcasters there recently, and in honor of the Dia de San Juan festival this weekend (and Noche de San Juan in PR), here are some Puerto Ricans behind the mic.

Episode recommendation: Felix has a voice made for podcasting. His rich timbre lends itself to a soothing listening experience. On episode 14. Rosa Santiago - I Believe he interviews his mother Rosa, and you’ll learn how Christmas is celebrated in Puerto Rico. This is special because it was like listening to my own family stories.

Episode recommendation: host Mike Hunton recommends These Fists Break Bricks Special (Feat. Grady Hendrix & Chris Poggiali). Mike explains that this episode “highlights one of the most under appreciated Latino martial arts stars of the 70s Charles Bonet - the LATIN PANTHER!! Charles was a true bad ass & magnetic on the screen & should be much more widely known.”
